An Onchan MHK's comments about the introduction of charges for dental check-ups are being questioned.
Peter Karran has branded the introduction of the charge 'an act of vandalism on public health'.
He claims it will discourage some people from going for a check-up, which could lead to more extensive - and therefore expensive - work in the future, if something is not caught early.
Isle of Man Dental Association Secretary Nigel Armstrong thinks the impact will be minimal:
Island falls silent to remember them
Two-minute silence held to mark Remembrance Sunday
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Reduction in overall average since summer
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Deemster brands assault "quite horrific"
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
Plan to furnish new club house with memories
